1 large ripe chopped tomato (skin and seeds removed)

1 cup chopped Cured Chorizo (mild)

2 small shallots cut thinly

1 cup green peas

2 tsp. olive oil

2 bay leaves

salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish (optional)

1 tbsp fresh parsley roughly chopped

1 tbsp lemon or lime zest (or a combo. of both)

Directions

1. Add the oil to a pot then bring the heat to med.
2. Add shallots and cook for 1 min.
3. Add the bay leaves.
4. Increase the heat to Med-High then add the chopped tomatoes. Cook for a few mins. or until the tomatoes begin to break down.
5. Stir in the chorizo.
6. Add the wine, bring to a bubble, then reduce to a simmer and cook for approx 10 mins. or until 3/4 of the liquid has reduced.
7. Add the shrimp and the peas.
8. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the majority of liquid has reduced.
9. Add Salt and Black Pepper to taste.

Serving Tip : Cut the Focaccia into squares, then spoon the shrimp and chorizo mixture generously on top. Spoon some of the liquid on there as well. The Focaccia acts like a sponge, and absorbs all the flavour.
Notes:
I used a mild Spanish Chorizo. I like the paprika flavour it adds to dishes. If you can’t find chorizo, use a mild cured sausage.
